Confrontations   [Report Abuse]  

Posted by: Devils Advocate     
Philosophers in the past and even at present have come up with many different philosophies. Well most of these tend to define people's beliefs as well as give the origin of the philosophies. Generally, different philosophers have tried to establish its origin by giving their own views. These views always tend to be based on beliefs as well as knowledge of the person involved. Anyway, when you talk about philosophy, the main debate always comes when comparing science to religion or Christianity. They have the tendency to cause endless discussions because they are two different fields altogether. Therefore, this confrontation has come out as the most common to be talked about for a long time. It is said, the confrontation started approximately in the year 200. They say that we agree to disagree and therefore it is vital to try and establish the origin of this confrontation. These are two entirely different attitudes and in both cases no one is wrong at least going by their own beliefs.
Let's begin by looking at science, it is the world's only source of absolute truth although is the way it is, it is very difficult to know why. Therefore, it is the only way through which human beings have to prove something as truth or as false. That is the importance of science and its methods. This is why a lot of people are now used to science to the point that they eat as well as breathe science. This is because they have developed absolute trust to it as the world's technological advances prove to be the ultimate capacity of science to test and confirm complete truth. The clash is always evident when religion comes into stage. Religion has been a substantial part of the human race since its beginning. Prehistoric cultures from millions of years ago had spiritual needs and some religion traits as well. Therefore, it is evident that both science and religion are part of the human nature.
The branches of philosophy which are Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, politics and Esthetics have brought a lot to light and made philosophy a critical field in life. For instance, how you would explain the origin of the earth and the solar system? You are now trying to explain from a particular philosophy, aren't you? Well that is its importance because you are capable of answering difficult questions. Philosophers like Eleanor Roosevelt made it clear that philosophy is so vital and without it; there would be a lot of question marks. He said and I quote, that the choices we make express each person's philosophy.
